Going solo

William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" puts you in the mood to get out into nature with your Nordic walking poles. 

Some tidbits:

• I saw a crowd, / A host, of golden daffodils; / Beside the lake, beneath the trees, / Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
• The waves beside them danced; but they / Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
• I gazed—and gazed—but little thought / What wealth the show to me had brought:
• For oft, when on my couch I lie / In vacant or in pensive mood, / They flash upon that inward eye / Which is the bliss of solitude; / And then my heart with pleasure fills, / And dances with the daffodils.

Never say never

From Nordic Walking Suffolk on Facebook, a study of one person. There are questions about how much we can generalize from it, but it does demonstrate you're never too old to benefit from working out.

Following my smartwatch post, a counterpoint.
